I recently attended the free online Hindi writing course at Zabaan Language Institute, and it was a great experience. The instructor was enthusiastic, knowledgeable, patient, and very supportive, which made the sessions engaging and enjoyable.The course included helpful practice exercises and homework, which really encouraged me to work on my skills outside of class. It was clear the teacher cared about each student’s progress and was happy to answer questions and provide guidance.I’d definitely recommend this course to anyone looking to improve their Hindi writing skills and am interested in exploring more courses with Zabaan in the future.

Had an awesome experience learning gurmukhi script from Anshu ma'am at Zabaan. The beginner course has helped me immensely in reading and writing the script. Thanks a lot Zabaan for making such courses available to anyone interested in learning these North Indian languages. Highly recommended for anyone wishing to learn gurmukhi script.

I have been learning English with Zabaan for the past two years. Before delving into my review, I must acknowledge that my relationship with English was far from satisfactory. In the past, I attempted to learn from various sources, including a few other esteemed institutions, but none could effectively address my struggles with the language. When I felt that learning English had become an insurmountable challenge, my friend Malini recommended Zabaan School for Languages. Intrigued by their website, I contacted Zabaan and commenced my English lessons with Ali.Prior to this, I had not watched a single English movie, series, or documentary because I simply could not understand anything they were say. Ali encouraged me to explore suitable English content, and initially he met with my resistance. However, he consistently motivated me, providing compelling reasons to watch various interesting shows. While many people turn to Ali for language learning, my experience with with him also evolved into a personal and spiritual journey. Ali Taqi is a deeply knowledgeable person and I'm sure anyone who has come into contact with him would agree with the same. I will forever cherish this enriching experience.Zabaan was more language school, it was a place of higher learning. Throughout this journey, I discovered aspects about myself and the world that I had never known. Although my formal education with Zabaan may conclude soon, my learning will be perpetual. As an Urdu storyteller, I know the nuances of language, and Ali's exceptional way of explaining things never cease to amaze me.Heartfelt thanks to my ustad Ali, and to Zabaan in general, for this transformative experience. I am officially an English speaker and I can not tell you how happy I am for it. To anyone aspiring to learn a language, Zabaan is the best in world.
